A more positive post

Despite our awful weekend, there are a few good things worth mentioning:

• The weather has been nice, even if the warm weather does mean a little flooding. It's been 5 degrees for the past few days. I took Addison out in the wagon yesterday and she loved it.
• Isaac taught her how to high-five and she does it every time now
• Addison says "Haaaaannah"
• Just today, she learned where her foot is. Now she knows mouth, nose, ears, belly, and foot.
• I finally caught some signing ("more") on camera

2012 sucks

Please let me never be sick like I was this weekend ever, ever, ever again.

In January, Isaac had a cold for no less than THREE weeks. Poor Addison had the flu and was sick for two weeks. She was barely over that when she woke up in the middle of the night so cold and shaking that I had to call the doctor. She had mild Hypothermia! Somehow I made it past all of that with no signs of sickness, and then this weekend hit me like a bus.

I felt fine on Friday until Isaac got home around 4. I hopped in the shower and suddenly thought I was going to pass out. Next thing you know, I'm puking like it's going out of style. It lasted all Friday night, Saturday, Saturday night, and Sunday.

Unfortunately Addison caught wind of it that night as well. She was sick all Saturday and up four times Saturday night. Neither one of us wanted to do anything, we were both just wiped.

I thought it was all over yesterday morning, but I brought Addison into bed with me at 5 am and she puked on my face! Thankfully we're slowly starting to feel better now. Mom came over yesterday afternoon and we went for a walk. It felt good to get some fresh air, but it was exhausting. The worst is definitely behind us now, and I hope we're never sick like that again. Let the deep clean of my house begin, so I can rid it of the plague of 2012.

2012 sucks.
